Well it can bring it back to factory condition (which you still will have to get all your updates).
Did you read the information at the site I pointed out?
You have 4 Compaq Recovery CD options
The Compaq Recovery CD enables you to restore your system files from a separate space on the hard drive.
The four options on the Recovery CD are listed below.
Restore option
Description:
Emergency Diskette Creating this diskette is important. This diskette can save unique PC setup information in case of an emergency. Store the diskette in a safe place.
User Backup Stores all information and files on the hard drive in a separate protected space on the hard drive.
User Restore Restores the hard drive to the state it was at a particular time.
Factory Restore Restores the computer to its original factory-installed software state.

The disk is a RESTORE DISK! Take the time and read the directions! It tells you what the disk will do, just read it!
You have 4 choices, that's it!
